[stephen grund]

This is one area of collecting that I know little about but always wanted a decent pair of jackboots. Tell me guys what you think.....

Typical private purchased boots, typical for offc. and NCO´s. They are easy to find, also in better condition. So depends on the asking price.

BTW, phrase "jackboots" is generally used for issued enlisted hobnailed boots.

The seller is asking 108.00 USD, is that fair for the condition of these boots?

IMO not fair. You can get those cheaper (even incl. postage from overseas) and in better condition.

Does anybody else think these boots are not a good deal? When I look at dealer's sites they go for at least 100.00 more than what this collector is asking?
